Candidates

As a candidate, understanding you is central to everything we do.

We work with people who know what they are looking for (sometimes we help them define what that is). Then we help them find it. Simple.

We pride ourselves in putting your interests first. We give you the best advice we can, and share all the relevant information we have to help you make an informed decision. We hold a long-term view and believe that the value lies in the relationship, not in a single interaction. We work hard to build and nurture meaningful partnerships.

Ultimately, we don’t want to be part of your job search—we would like to help you navigate your career.

Clients

As a client, forget what you already know about working with an agency.

Expect to partner with a business that knows the market and can help you figure out how your offering compares to others. Our goal is to help you understand your audience and your prospects of appealing to them. We will help you refine your message and deliver it directly to the people you most want to receive it. Our proven process of identifying, attracting and engaging candidates on your behalf will improve the quality of hires you make and decrease the time spent on making them. Great candidate experience is woven into everything we do for you.

Working with Oliver on finding my next role has been a pleasure. He was able to understand my motivations and recommended positions accordingly. His good relationship with a broad range of interesting tech companies--in addition to Banks--plus his great advice before and after interviews are invaluable. I will definitely work with Oliver again in the future.

Lead Engineer , Challenger Bank
Oliver is without doubt one of the best recruiters I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Trustworthy, technically savvy and pragmatic are not necessarily traits you would associate with every recruiter, but certainly set Oliver apart from the rest. Having worked with Oliver for a number of years, it is clear he has an innate ability to understand his clients needs and translate that into highly relevant profiles. The open and frank conversations that we have ultimately allow me to make the right decisions quicker and coupled with Oliver's ability to close a deal, leads to a very fruitful relationship. I wholeheartedly recommend Oliver.

Andy S

CTO , Smart Energy
Upon first working with Oliver he quickly proved himself to be a cut-above his competitors, with his ability to understand the business and requirements of the particular role, and most importantly, deliver. Oliver became a trusted partner whereby we could both have honest and no-nonsense conversations. Oliver has always gone above and beyond with offering market insights and benchmarking when asked or even when he thinks something is worth sharing. I can’t recommend Oliver highly enough.

HR Director , Capital Markets Business
Oliver is an experienced recruiter who invests his time to truly understand his clients’ and his candidates’ needs. I found Oliver’s insight and advice very valuable. He is truly passionate about finding the right people for his roles and he goes out of his way to learn about what skills it takes to successfully fulfill the requirements, his knowledge goes far deeper than “buzzwords”.

Head of Engineering , Utility Company
I worked with Seekr to find my next career step, and it was simply the best recruitment experience one could ask for. I benefited from clarity, engagement and availability throughout the whole process.Micaela has been an excellent communicator, staying in touch and guiding every step of the way, offering tips and materials and anticipating issues. It took all of five minutes for the Seekr team to convince me that they mean business. I'd applied for a DevOps role, and after asking a couple of questions, they offered me a Platform Engineering role instead. This role turned out to be an excellent match. The interview process was a long one, spread over multiple months and over the Christmas break, and Micaela's engagement throughout was stellar. She helped set all the correct expectations...

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Mark. From the outset, he has really illustrated his passion for what he does, and at every step of the journey, his communication has been on point. His guidance has made me comfortable in the process - and it afforded me the confidence that ultimately landed me some great opportunities. Thank you, Mark!
